Anna has a sustained focus on trauma and integrated well-being and has completed trauma-related coursework. She includes somatic ideas such as trauma-informed yoga and movement when appropriate, and she frames this as options clients can choose.

Anna aims for clear, direct conversations and practical steps people can use between sessions.

Approaches that guide online work

Anna commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; this approach is practical for anxiety, depression and many stress-related problems. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the client's priorities and emphasizes empathic listening to help people name what matters most.

Mindfulness techniques are included to help with grounding and attention, especially for stress, sleep, and emotional regulation. These tools are offered as practices people can try between appointments to notice gradual changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean starting with CBT exercises, adding mindfulness practices, or focusing on relationship patterns depending on what the client wants to address.

If you prefer online sessions, please confirm the current session formats before booking so you know which options are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, and remove travel time so people can focus on making steady progress.
